The world’s rate of change
increases while education’s remain
SLOW
The disconnect brings challenges
for teachers at all levels

4.
Are you TOO MATURE and feel
disconnected with your students
since you’re a digital immigrant?
Most of your students in your
classroom (if not all) are digital
natives.

5.
Your students
There always been MTV
Michael Jackson has always been white
Popcorn has always been cooked in the
microwave
Gas has always been unleaded
They cannot fathom not having a remote
control
They think every commercial on TV has a
Web site at the bottom of the screen
Beloit College Mindset List, 2003, 2005, 2006, 2007

6.
Your students
They have never owned a record player
They have likely never play Pac Man and
have never heard of Pong
They have never heard of an 8 track.
They have grown up with CDs and DVDs.
Most have never seen a TV set with only
13 channels, nor have they seen a black
and white TV
They have always had cable.

7.
Your students
CTRL + ALT + Del is as basic as ABC
The Web has always been an online tool
Virtual reality has always been available
when the real thing failed
They often email or text their friends
They often update their autobiographies on
“Facebook” or “MySpace”
They listen to their iPods while doing their
research on Wikipedia

Digital Shift
“Our students have changed
radically. Today’s students are no
longer the people our educational
system was designed to teach .”
Marc Prensky
Prensky, M. (2001). Digital Natives, Digital Immigrants.

13.
The Digital Natives
Prefer multi-tasking and quick, non-linear access to
information
Are visually-oriented
Are highly networked, interactive, and social
Increasing mobile
Have a low tolerance for lectures
Prefer active learning rather than passive learning
Rely heavily on communications technologies to
access information and to carry out social and
professional interactions.
(Prensky 2001a, 2001b; Oblinger, 2003; Gros, 2003; Frand, 2000)

14.
The Digital Natives
1st generation to be producers of content, not just
consumers
Pick their classes on ratemyprofessor.com or
www.pickaprof.com
Get to know their classmates through
www.facebook.com
Share their lives with others on myspace.com
Share their videos with others on
www.youtube.com
Share their photos with other on flickr.com

46.
What Can You Do?
Talk with and observe your students
Get training - stay informed
Move teaching away from conventional methods
by which students are told what to learn, where,
and how
Knowledge should be actively constructed and
students should be made responsible for their own
learning
Utilize real-world applications
Make learning interactive and experiential
Use informal learning opportunities
Integrate technology and their tools of choice
(Web 2.0) into your curriculum
